These people may be majoring in CS, but there's really no way around it in the end - to be successful in this field, you have to really love computers. Unless you're a certifiable genius, part of the challenge of this field is just spending a ton of time in front of the computer, learning all the little things. This is a lifelong journey, one that's impossible to complete, and one you can't fake or BS your way through. I don't think CS is a bad major, it's still extremely marketable, but you just have to recognize that this is just one piece of the puzzle for the top jobs, and the other piece is technical prowess, a skill you really have to grind to get good at.
